states. as you mentioned, the taliban says that did play some role in their attacks at camp bastion, but there on the ground, what do you see really as the source of the rage we're seeing against america? is it just that film, or there's got to be something bigger? >> reporter: that's a very good point that you've just made, willie. people are just using the movie as an excuse, at least when it comes to afghanistan. the taliban will take claim of responsibility for any attack that happens against coalition forces here in afghanistan. the camp bastion attack, many people are saying there's no way that it only took the taliban a couple of days to be able to penetrate this base in helmand province. it's one of the most secure bases throughout afghanistan, so that took weeks of planning at least according to experts here. but obviously, they are using this film as an excuse and hoping to agitate more afghans and more muslims to turn against the western community, especially here in afghanistan. >

it has been over a year now since the united states killed osama bin laden. the head of the group that attacked us on 9/11. it's a presidential election year. it's a year when one of the wars we launched after 9/11, the one that actually had a connection to 9/11, is a war that's still going on, but the other long war we launched after 9/11 has been ended in iraq. and all of those variables factor into decisions about how we mark this day as americans. but also how our leaders or our would be leaders mark it. how we commemorate 9/11 is a work in progress. we saw today a decision by the white house and the obama campaign to have vice president joe biden mark the day in a way that was not political. it was just about remembering the people who were lost that day and commemorating the sacrifices people have made in this country because of 9/11. while both sides in the presidential campaign suspended their negative ads for the day out of respect for the anniversary, there's no ban on campaigning today. there's no rule about what you can and cannot do. mitt romney

it may well be that the united states has to bilaterally step up and take use of this opportunity, to interface dir t directly with the supreme leader. i understand israel's position. i also know that the united states has been working hand and glove with israel, in many different ways, many of them classified, so there has been really unbridled cooperation with israel. so, i think we have done everything that we should be doing. >> and senator, just briefly, you're suggesting direct talks between the united states and iran if we could do it at the right level. you can imagine what, for instance, mitt romney would have to say about that if president obama were to authorize someone to go and talk directly to iran. >> well, i would hope he wouldn't. because what could happen with an israeli strike is an involvement in the united states of america in a major war because we would be israel's backup. and dependent upon how we would intercept missiles coming out of iran, we could commit an act of war. and i think we have to be really well cognizant that if israel does this and they do that,

what united states should be saying at that moment. after the killings, the state department and the president came out with very strong statements. i thought the best statement of all was hillary clinton, reminding us what the stakes are when she said we have to be clear eyed in the face of grief. and that is correct. we cannot make foreign policy snap judgments. you have to get the facts, find out who was responsible here, before we even decide what the appropriate action will be. and i have confidence that when we do, the president working with the libyan government and the egyptian government will take the right action. >> and to john's point about the sort of risk these diplomats take on, you know, that statement that was released in egypt was as much as anything else an attempt to save lives. >> sure. >> say look, we were a he going to try to put this broken thing back together so that nobody is hurt. and for romney not only to sort of not understand that, but then to use that as a line of attack and criticism, is fairly shocking
